Pluspunten
1. Family/Work life balance. -FM Global practices what it preaches with respect to promoting a well balanced work/family life. It allows for flexible working hours and management is very sympathetic when personal time is needed and requested. 2. Recognized leader in the market place. -FM Global conducts its business uniquely in its market by relying heavily on engineering and research to generate profit and affect bottom line rather than simply relying on acturarial practices. This business model has proven to be highly effective and has dinstinguished the company from its competitors. 3. Comprehensive benefit package. -In a time when companies are cutting back on benefits, FM Global has remained committed to providing the most comprehensive beneift package to its employees in the forms of good healthcare benefits, 6%-match of 401(k), pension, company-provided vehicles, and even a $250 "healthy living" credit that can be applied towards gym membership, yoga and aerobics classes.
Minpunten
1. Salary compensation at the lower part of the spectrum. - when compared to similar jobs at other companies in the same industry, FM Global's salary is ranked at the "lower end" of the salary range. This could be a difference of $10,000 to $15,000. 2. Team work not as promoted/practiced as it can be - emplyees tend to work individually and are responsible for individual performances only. although cooperation and coordination is routinely carried out to complete tasks/projects, it is, nevertheless, far from a working "team-oriented" environment in which empolyees would brainstorm, map out plans, be assigned areas of leadership, and complete a project which can forster team spirit and generate pride in the working environment. 3. Lack of oppotunity for individual creativity and initiative -management is typically not supportive of creative solutions or initiatives that are outside of the company guidelines or processes. this environment is somewhat stiffling to those who thrives on providing solutions and meeting objectives through creativity.
